Meatloaf {Moist & Delicious & Simple}
Moist & Delicious Meatloaf. Simplify. This word hangs over my kitchen sink and is more often than not… ignored. I love the concept of ‘less is more’ I just struggle when it comes to cooking with this in mind. Having said that, this meatloaf recipe is the perfect example of combining just a few simple ingredients to create magic. Maybe this should be called Magic Meatloaf.

Friday Night Sliders {TGIF}
Friday Night Sliders. Because sometimes you just deserve a good burger!! When it comes to food I’m all about the package, the delivery if you will. So if there is a way to make a burger cute I’m all in. We have White Castle to thank for the slider revolution. And while their thin griddle-cooked patties have their place in history, they’re not my favorite. Don’t hate me.

Isle of Palms Burger
Isle of Palms Burger inspired by Pawley’s Front Porch, Columbia, SC As we turned on the TV to watch Saturday afternoon college football, the analyst came on with his pregame show. Every week he visits a local restaurant in the town of the home team and shares his dining experiences. What an awesome job he has.

Swedish Meatballs
Swedish Meatballs. Growing up, we enjoyed them every Christmas Eve as part of our annual holiday h’ordeuvres spread. I’m slowly recreating these recipes one by one. Some from memory and some that mom passed down to me. Sunday I pulled out this recipe card and took a stroll down memory lane.

Taco Salad {with Doritos}
Flash backwards to January, NFL Playoffs were underway and I was itching to host a Super Bowl Party. I decided to make this Taco Salad with Doritos recipe, in honor of my favorite Super Bowl Commercials, and share it on Lemony Thyme the week before the Big Game. That was the plan. Right up until our home team, the Falcons, got beat in the last round.

Kefta Mkaouara {Moroccan Spicy Meatball & Tomato Tagine with Poached Eggs}
I wanted to share one more Winter Thyme Spice Exploration dish before I mentally checked into Spring. When I discovered Kefta Mkaouara, a traditional Moroccan tagine dish, it offered all the right components. Lovely spices, fresh herbs, wonderfully seasoned mini-meatballs, and poached eggs all slow cooked in glorious tomato and olive sauce in our new Tagine. Beautiful.

The St. Patty’s Melt {not just for St. Paddy’s Day}
It’s St. Patrick’s Day! How does one day draw in sooo many people? Beer. AND that we’re a melting pot society…who wants to claim to be Irish at least one day a year :) St. Patrick’s Day seems to span across continents, dialects, and generations. We’re looking for permission to drink. Beer. And make Irish Soda Bread…so we can turn it into Patty Melts on St. Paddy’s Day. That’s my theory. And the St. Patty’s Melt was born.

Swing State Chili {Skyline Chili Inspired}
Today is Election Day and we will enjoy dinner tonight….squarely in front of the television. We kicked around some menu ideas in honor of this important day. Should we have a red, white, and blue Americana theme or perhaps good ole’ Georgia inspired southern food. In the end we decided to focus on the ‘swing states’ who seem to hold the future of the country in their hands. So in honor of the great folks of Ohio….here is our best attempt at your beloved Cincinnati “Skyline” Chili.

Mushroom Bacon Swiss Burgers
Is there anything better than a good burger? Okay yes… there are some things, but on the rare occasion that we actually make beef burgers (vs. turkey or salmon) they are such a huge treat. Whether you lay them on a bed of greens or perched on a toasted onion roll they are amazing. Top them with a slice of nutty pungent Swiss cheese, sautéed mushrooms, and a couple of strips of crispy bacon…. Mushroom Bacon Swiss Burgers = WINNING!!
